My birthday topic kind of threw up another one...

I was born at around 9 and a half pounds whatever that is in new money but grew up to be a 12 and a half stone stick insect...

So what was your birth weight (if you know it) and did you turn out accordingly (that is, if you were a big baby did you turn out small or vice versa)... (??)

I have three younger brothers who are all smaller than me, but I was my mother's smallest baby and her only natural birth.

Not much correlation here. Seven pounds and change to which I've added 220 pounds and nowhere near enough inches.

I weighed 8 lbs and 14 at birth but in my baby book it says 8 lbs and 8 oz so I bet my mom can't even remember the weight.

My brothers were big babies too and they weight more than me. My oldest weighs over 200 lbs and I am not sure how much the youngest weights. Maybe over 200 too. I only weigh 120 now. I used to be more but I lost weight and I haven't been this light since age 12.

I'm not sure of my weight but I think I was about average I guess. People thought I was going to be a lot smaller thou because docs said I was going to be born two months latter but the docs might of been wrong. I was extremely skinny when I was a toddler; so much so that people were worried about me having health problem or possibly dying even. I barely ate anything thou; I'm an extremely picky eater. Been a little overweight for the last 10 years now

I think that's really cool to have a baby book, I wonder how many of us have one of those!
